2021 MLB Draft

[mqt]

Unfortunately Heyman is the guy that everyone around here loves to throw rocks at.

I hope the info is right, but it hasn't been reported anywhere else - would just be nice to see someone else report it other than a 24 year old college kid and Heyman since he spends 2 hours a day with his nose buried in Brian Kenney's *ss, Kinda tough to pick up "breaking news" that way.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Heyman isn’t dipping his toes into the water of 11th round picks signing unless he has a good reason.

Just pointing out the presiding sentiment around these parts - go back and read through the offseason thread and see how many posters called Heyman "useless" and that didn't believe anything he breaks,

Man you get weird and crotchety about the silliest things

Ah - you were one of those who *itched about Heyman, eh?

A third confirmation:

11th-rder Adam Shoemaker signs w/@Braves on $480k ($355k counts vs pool). Canada HS LHP, very projectable at 6-ft-6, already flashes mid-90s fastball. St. John's recruit. @MLBDraft

clvclv’s going to wait until he takes the mound at Truist in 2026 before believing it.

Exhibit B

For what it's worth, Anglin's Twitter page now lists the Atlanta Braves Organization as his employer/

Right ?

Heard an interview with Jim Callis and he said he doesn't expect us to sign Anglin.

I don't know how much is left to go over $125,000, but as I wrote above, this is kind of a Josh Anthony situation where the Braves can't quite meet his price. Only problem for Anglin is I don't think he can be drafted again in next year's draft if he goes to a 4-year school and he's a Texas Tech commit. Good luck to him whatever his decision.

Pirates signed Bubba Chandler. Reported bonus is $3 million (approximately $2.1 million over slot).

Have to figure AA's guys knew it was going to take that much when they made their first two picks.

Agree. Chandler's demands would have blown up our whole draft. Chandler's getting about 80% of what the Braves' first and second rounders received in terms of bonus money.

 

[CJ9]

Braves put out a statement that they signed 19 of 20 picks. So I guess Anglin did sign.

 

[Nerfherders]

I guess that's why they picked that catcher 1-1.

 

[MadduxFanII]

Braves are officially announcing they signed their first 19 draft picks.

 

[CJ9]

Callis: 16th-rder Kris Anglin signs w/@Braves for $125k. Howard (Texas) JC LHP, 103 K in 66.2 IP, Texas Tech recruit. @MLBDraft

Shows how my mental machinations were totally off the mark.

 

[Hudson2]

So we signed everybody but 1 right?

Appears that way. Only 20th round pick Evans heading to the U of Florida instead of signing.

Must be tough for Evans to have choose between the two finest human institutions in modern America.
